Utah’s Tiny Homes: Developers Ghost Like Your Tinder Dates
In Utah, one of America’s most outrageously expensive housing markets, officials have whipped up shiny new incentives to coax developers into building smaller homes, hoping millennials might finally get to adult and build some wealth. Spoiler: developers aren’t biting. Despite the carrot dangled in 2024, the residential masterminds who actually build houses are ghosting the whole idea like your weird uncle’s Zoom invite. It’s Goldilocks economics — not too big, not too small, but apparently small enough to summon a developer is a rare myth in these towering-priced peak real estate lands. Young folks still stuck scrolling Zillow like it’s a cruel joke.
